This time last year I was at Feira de São Joaquim market in Salvador where rice sits alongside spices, fabrics, and ritual objects, an echo of survival and memory, but also inequality rooted in slavery and exploitation.

'Some'?? If there were safe and legal routes all deaths at sea would be completely avoidable

The Palgrave Handbook of South–South Migration and Inequality This is an open access handbook, which provides a ‘state-of-the-art’ resource on South-South migration, intersectional inequalities and development.

I co-edited a book, the internet downloaded it 422k times and counting.

Open access = global readership.

Proof that collective Global South scholarship travels far when it’s not bound by Global North profit. Grateful to everyone who’s read, taught, and shared.

I spent 35 years of my life, including 2 years at the UK Home Office, trying to understand the causes of forced migration and why people end up where they do. The fact that these simplistic narratives still dominate British politics drives me crazy 🤯

For sure! Hoping eventually to be one of them!

Thank you for advice and suggestions! I will put my blocking hat on while I look for my people 😝

Hello BlueSky 👋🏼

I’m new to this platform and need my feed to be full of smart, thoughtful, kind people who can cut through the tedious Twitter-style nonsense the algorithm has decided to send my way.

Hit me up if you are interested in #migration #power #food or any combination of the three!

But not the United States 🙄

Received a message from @hebagowayed.bsky.social which reminded me not to completely let go of 35 years working in the migration space, even as I try to find new ways to critically engage with how we got here

Thanks for the welcome and the link.

It took me years to write that article but it’s ended up being one of the most important things I needed to say

I did, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this, looks like my people are definitely here!

A mural in Oaxaca, Mexico — maize rendered as a winged figure, part human, part plant. Corn as sustenance, ancestry, and power.

I’ve stepped away from Twitter in search of my people.

After 35 years working on migration, I’m currently writing The Taste of Power — a book about food, power and how five everyday foods have shaped the world we live in.

I will be sharing reflections from research, travel, and work in progress.
